Query about Frame maker 11

Hi All
This is regarding a query about Frame maker 11.
I have seen the in the FDK guide of FM 11 which states that "To compile FDK clients for Windows, you must use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010."
So do we need a separate installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to develop/compile FDK clients apart from FM11 installation or is its a part of FM11 software?
could you please any one can clarify on this .
Thank you .
Regards
Ramesh

AFAIK, you have to supply your own IDE & compiler.

How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
[relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
[absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

Upgrading from Frame Maker 6.0 to Frame Maker 10

Hi :
We are trying to upgarde from Frame Maker 6.0 to 10. Have any of you tried this? For years we have been using Frame Maker 6.0 and we some how need to get all our legacy source files working in Frame Maker 10 as well. Do you think this is a good idea? Please advice.
Thanks

If you have content in Non-Western-Languages ...
I would expect that to be about the same challenge for FM7.2 to FM8 as for FM6 to FM10.
Going to FM8 or above you cross the relatively unmarked border at the Unicode frontier. You need to check your luggage for hidden text damage in transit.
Safe MIF return to FM7.2 or earlier LegacyLand, with text intact, may be difficult.

Variables like breadcrumbs in frame maker?

Hello together,
I would like to add a kind of breadcrumbs (at webseite -> you are here: Start > Adobe Community > Frame Maker > ....) for all headings in framemaker.
e.g.: You are here/Path: Heading 1 - Heading 2 - Heading 3
By adding variables with <$absText[Titel1]> just <$paratext appears. Titel1 is the Paragraph-Tag.
It should work automatically, ideally on the reference page, using cross references is to much work as I have always to choose the actual Heading.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Russ:
Just because we see things a bit differently is EXACTLY the opportunity to discuss them and perhaps gain insights to things we didn't think through too thoroughly.
In my case, D'OH! I was considering print formats like PDF, so I was thinking deeply inside the box, just to a static breadcrumb mindset that simply displayed the nested levels of hierarchy on any given page. Same one. Forever, unless the document is revised and reexported to PDF. BAH! I completely ignored the fundamental nature of breadcrumbs: they trace your progress backwards, so they need to be dynamic. YES, you're right!
I can't say "you win," because it wasn't a contest - we're both looking for ways to help users. But, I can say, "thanks for making me think better."
Now, if there's a way to hijack a PDF viewer application to capture the traceback data it stores for a user's session, and display that info as breadcrumbs, that would be great! It's probably not trivial to engineer that in a PDF viewer, and probably not possible to engineer in FrameMaker so that the tracebacks are captured and displayed when the PDF that originaged in FM is viewed.

Peter

Hi Peter,
Interesting commentary. However, I find the comparison to RoboHelp as a bit like apples to oranges. In RoboHelp, there are clear and natural delimiters between the units represented by the bread-crumbs, that is; the source files themselves. Additionally, there is an explicit hierarchy represented by the project TOC to guide breadcrumb generation. No such natural delimiters or explicit hierarchy exists in an FM file, with a modest exception for a structured FM file. Even still, the decision of what entity should be represented by a breadcrumb could be completely arbitrary, as there could be any names for heading styles, heading elements, etc. And, that's assuming that you are looking to breadcrumb headings in the first place, which also might be arbitrary. And above all that... you would have to insert content all over the place throughout a file (and the location, styling, etc. etc. could also be arbirary), then be able to clearly recognize each instance with each breadcrumb refresh. Adding to all of that, it looks like KammOptima wants to use images.
So anyway, thinking about this from an engineering perspective, it seems like a wildly complicated request, at least to figure out a generic tool that would be broadly useful. I wouldn't claim that I am the sharpest engineer in the drawer, though, so perhaps you can convince me that I'm over complicating this.

Multi users license for Frame Maker

We have a group of about 20 people who need to write documents in Frame Maker 8.
Is there a configuration that allows us to maintain Frame Maker licenses on a server such that we will not need to purchase license per person, but still our writers can work simultaneously?

You should talk to Adobe Sales people or partners in your area.

Im about to make a trip to the USA and i need to know the price of an iphone 64GB unlokced please in order to carrie the amount of dollars

"Same as what? " US of course.
So the price of an iPhone in the U.S. is the same as the price of an iPhone in the U.S. ?
Okay.
tymcziszyn asked how much an iPhone in the U.S. would cost. Nothing was mentioned about comparing the cost (which you seemed to be attempting to do but your post was a bit short.).
You really meant that the price of an iPhone purchased in the U.S and then paying import duties and VAT when taking it home would (likely be close to the) same price as if purchased in his home country.
and what if his home country does not sell the iPhone?
I understood what you meant but OP may not be native english speaker (though he seems to do well here) so making sure they get the entire message clearly may help.

Frame Maker 10 with S1000D - Figure TOC not in format

I am using Frame Maker 10 with S1000D Application Pack, i have new document from S1000D->New->Crew Modle, inputing the data as per the Elements and updating the TOC S1000D->Update TOCs all works fine, but when i insert the Figure and updated the TOCs its not in the format
When i checked the sample document which is given in FM 10 S1000D, Once i Insert the Element "Figure Title" it inputs auto number...but not in Crew Modle.
Please help me how to go with this

This formatting error is due to a missing text format rule in the Crew Module application. The quickest way to fix this is as follows:
Locate the S1000D application files within the FrameMaker installation folder.
Open the EDD for the Crew application: crew_401.edd.fm.
Also open the EDD for the Description application: description_401.edd.fm.
In the crew EDD locate the figureTitle element definition which is in the Graphics section. You should see that figureTitle has no formatting rules.
The Description EDD does include the required formatting rules, so simply copy those rules into the Crew EDD.
Save the Crew EDD. This may require changing the EDD's file permissions to allow read/write access.
Open the Crew template: crew_401.tpl.fm.
Import the EDD into the template using File > Import > Element Definitions...
Save the Crew template.
Open the crew data module, the List of Figures will now show the correct formatting.
Note: Do not import the EDD directly into an open data module as that will overwrite the attribute values as defined by the BREX mapping.

Frame Maker 9 Cross References Question

Howdy,
I got two documents the original and a translated version of it. The original has a bunch of working cross references and it's all fine and dandy. The translated one on the other has a bunch of broken cross-references, chapter headers, headers in general and what not. Almost all of the "code" broke when the translator did it.
Either way, that's easy enough to fix it, I can just copy the working code from the original and paste into the translated document and it will generaelly fix the error.
Now for the question - Since my translated document is a couple of pages longer than the original due to the translation can I still copy of the cross references from the first document over, and it will be all fine and dandy?
Basically I didn't write either docuements I'm just fixing formatting and other errors, and I'm not entirely 100% how Frame Maker does it cross references are they based on a page number/paragraph parameters, or something like under X subheading go here and that's how it links.
TL;DR How do Cross refernces work in FM9? And if I have a translated doc longer than my original, can those same Cross references work in both docs?
Thanks much for any help/insight.
Dean,

Almost all of the "code" broke when the translator did it.
They probably deleted the Cross-Ref Markers when over-typing the text. If Text Symbols were off during edit, that's pretty easy to do.
... and I'm not entirely 100% how Frame Maker does it cross references are they based on a page number/paragraph parameters, or something like under X subheading go here and that's how it links.
Unless you are Xref'ing a hand-created Marker, Frame auto-creates a Marker, of type "Cross-Ref" at the start of the target paragraph. It also auto creates an Mtext tag, which contains what appears to be a unique number string, the Paragraph Format name and the paragraph text (including any auto number). There is also a <Unique> tag with another unique number string.
When resolving references, my impression is that Frame first searches for the <Unique> number, and if not found, then for the Mtext string, and then possibly for the Mtext string without the leading number string.
If the translators do two things, I would expect the Xrefs to port:
Don't disturb Xref Markers. This can be tough, because it's sometimes hard to select text and not nab leading Markers, and because all Marker symbols look alike, and the Index markers do need to be messed with.
Don't translate text defined by Markers. That text will auto-translate from the source text at Update.

Query about local storage

Hi,
     i had a query about local storage.
     I've a machine that hosts weblogic and tangosol. i've an ejb that accesses a distributed cache i.e NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.get("MyCache")
     i modified tangosol-coherence.xml and set local-storage to false ( for distributed cache) and replaced the file in coherence.jar.
     i'm using an overflow scheme and the back map uses a disk scheme.
     i also start a separate standalone instance of tangosol and i set the system property of local storage to true for the standalone instance.
     i start the standalone instance first and then weblogic.
     The idea is ensure that the tangosol instance in weblogic or the weblogic JVM should not participate in storing data (hence local storage false).
     only the JVM for the standalone instance should store data (hence local storage true -system property).
     i wanted to know whether the property "local-storage" is pertinent to a member(machine) or to a JVM?
     the reason for this doubt: as i'm using a disk scheme, tangosol creates a file for an overflow (e.g lh014402~.tp). i can see two such files when ideally i would have wanted only one for the tangosol instance.
     -rw-r--r-- 1 zephyr users 8364032 2005-06-23 17:02 lh014402~.tp
     -rw-r--r-- 1 zephyr users 8364032 2005-06-23 17:02 lh014403~.tp.
     can you please let me know if we can configure tangosol in such a way that we can two separate instances running with local stroage false for one and true for the other?
     Awaiting your reply
     Thanks
     Vinay

I would suggest leaving the default 'local-storage' value set to 'true' in the tangosol-coherence.xml and just use the JVM argument to control the local storage of each individual node. Then start the stand alone instance normally (I assume you are using the com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer) and start the WebLogic instance with the following:
     java [...] -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false [...]
     Hope this helps.
     Later,

Big Troubles on designing Query about special customers' counting

Hello buddies:
I meet a problem on designing Query about special customers' counting. Let me describe the requirment first. I want to create a query with BEX , and there is a key figure with very special logic.
That is: to list the counts of the customers which has more than one sales records in a time period from sales data.
For example :
when the user excute the query , he or she must input a time period ( 2007.01~2007.03 e.g)
then the query output as follow:
District          Cust-sount
North-Zone       100
South-Zone      120
The Main trouble are :
1. Threr are no document number in the detail of sales data document records. so I could not count the sales times with document number.
2. The time period is not fixed value, it depends on the user's input, so I can not define the counting logic in the update rule or in the query with fixed time period.
Anybody who met similar requirement pls show me your hand and give your solutions, thanks very much.
Jason

Hi,
    Your solution sounds a good way to count the distinct customers. but in my case, one salse line item must not be recognize as one sales record, instead, one customer's all sales line items occurs in one day must be recognize as one sales record ( or we say that one sales behavior).
for example:
customer     product    quantity   date
cust001       prod001        10       2007.06.06
cust001       prod002        20       2007.06.06
the two line items above means one sales record for the customer "cust001".
so I could not simply use the CKF : (( Counter ) *FV2 ) > 1 .
Best Regards,
Jason

Query about licensing Jdeveloper

Dear Friends,
I have a query about licensing of Jdeveloper development tool. I understand that Jdeveloper is Free tool.That is we do not require license to use Jdeveloper for development as well as production.
Recent I heard that Jdeveloper is free only if we purchase Oracle Application Server. Is it correct ? Does one need to purchase Jdeveloper license if it is being deployed on any other App. server eg. Jboss etc ?
Can anyone throw light on the same ?
Many thanks,
Vaij

Hi,
JDeveloper is free! Oracle ADF - the binding layer - ADF BC, and ADF Faces need an OracleAs licence

I think the SQL statement should be
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID=" & _
tempvars!JobID & " AND MatLotID=" & tempvars!MatLotID
This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

What is Authoring Workflow in Adobe Frame Maker for Author / reviewer

Hello All,
I am new to Adobe Frame Maker and want to understand Workflow concept for Adobe frame maker.
I have multiple Authors want to perform role of editor / reviewer etc.. want to follow process before doing publish.
Is there any pre-defined workflow template in Adobe frame maker ? multiple user / author / reviewer decide and edit the 1 document before doing publish.
I have EMC Documentum CMS integration, will it be Documentum workflow or normal Frame Maker workflow.
Can some one provide pointers/ URL/ documentation for Workflow integration for XML file / DITA file creation using Frame Maker.
Thanks in advance!

Hope my question is clear ?

Installing same versions of Frame maker on one system (7.0 and 7.2)

I am using Frame maker 7.2 for creating user manuals. The tool we are using for generating OLH is
Web Works Publisher for frame maker 7.0. Currently I have installed FM 7.0 and WWP on virtual machine
while I work directly on FM 7.2 version and only use 7.0 from Virtual machine while creating OLH
This is a very complicated process as I have to copy all my files into the virtual machine folder
and then create Help files.
Can we install both 7.0 and 7.2 version on the same system (not virtual)
so that when I document the manuals on 7.2 fm, I can close the files and open the same file in 7.0
versions to generate help files.

Yes, you can have multiple versions installed on the same machine. I have one that's running 7.2, 8, and 9... no problems.
As far as 7 and 7.2 go, if it was me, I'd just go with 7.2. There isn't a difference in the file format, so files can be opened with either version. And 7.2 is more stable, has fewer bugs, and better import/export filters.
